Pet Sessions

For many of us, pets aren’t “just animals.” They’re family. They’re the quiet comfort at the end of a long day, the joyful greeting at the door, the steady presence through life’s changes. I believe they deserve to be remembered and celebrated in the same meaningful way we do with the people we love most. I welcome pets into portrait sessions because they tell an honest, beautiful part of your story. For some, they are your children — the ones you nurture, spoil, worry over, and love unconditionally. For others, especially in retirement, they share space in your heart alongside your children and grandchildren, woven into the moments that matter most. However your family looks, your bond with your pet is real, and it’s worth honoring.

As a photographer, I’m endlessly inspired by the connection between people and their animals — the way a hand rests instinctively on a familiar head, the laughter that comes from an unexpected lick, the calm that settles in when they’re close. I approach pet-inclusive sessions with patience, flexibility, and genuine care, allowing your portraits to unfold naturally rather than forcing a perfect pose. These images aren’t just about how your pet looks; they’re about how they belong. They capture loyalty, companionship, and love in its purest form. Years from now, when paws have slowed or are only remembered in spirit, these portraits will hold the stories, the warmth, and the joy you shared — forever part of your family’s legacy.
